Gifted with the powers to, respectively, read the thoughts of others and move objects with their minds. These children, some as young as eight years old, many older teenagers, are gifted with telepathy and telekinesis. The Institute is the story of Luke Ellis, one of a large collection of children with supernatural powers who are abducted and held captive for… well, for reasons you must read to find out.
